The proposal is indeed a 45min featurette and it’s title is as of above. Why is it a film and not a written story? I’m a film maker and my passion lies in the screen rather than books although am currently working on the first draft of my first novel based on my life, titled after my feature film script, What Lies Within.
I was hoping the project will also help with distribution. I do have a few connections with Producers in other countries and television stations. l intend to also send it to short film festivals.
My audience? Anybody fascinated by African stories and culture including those looking for pure entertainment. Below is the short synopsis of the story.
Synopsis
Complicated Complications is a story about death and inheritance. Two 16 year old Tonga boys, Mahuke and Mphembe are surviving sons born of competing women married to the same man. Their older brother has just died and left behind his 30 year old widow, 4 young children and many cattle.
The two brothers’ fight for the prize further divides the family as their mothers join the race to win the trophy.
